I am a pretty recognizable, like, I walk through the airport or something, you are going to spot me right away.

Some people attach snowboards to their feet, very few attach them to their souls.

I totally forget about snowboarding in the summertime.

I wasn't your average kid. I was signing autographs in Japan at 12.

I personally think skateboarding is harder because it has so many moving parts. With snowboarding, your feet are strapped to your board.

I’m a big fan of doing what you are really bad at. A lot.

You take a crash, you get back up and next time you succeed and that's a great feeling.

I remember thinking that I'd way rather give my parents my money, and not have to like have them go to work anymore, you know what I mean. Because I'd way rather spend more time with them.

Usually the thing that signifies that I'm done with the winter and all that is that I start skateboarding.

I think the way to become the best is to just have fun.

The hardest thing about skateboarding is consistency: The slightest flick of your foot or gust of wind can send your board flying, so it's really anybody's game out there.

My happiness is not the means to any end. It is the end. It is its own goal. It is its own purpose.

Write what will stop your breath if you don’t write.

His name is Legion. He is the king of nowhere.

Stay awake. Spread awareness. Take action.

What is this place? Hogwarts? -- Alex Rider

If all the world were music, Our hearts would often long For one sweet strain of silence. To break the endless song.

There are nice political formulations that can apply to everyone and to nobody. I wouldn't know how I could be more reserved in my formulations than I already am.

Longing is a compass that guides us through life. We may never get what we really want, that's true, but every step along the way will be determined by it.

To live without having a Cicero and a Tacitus at hand seems to me as if it was aprivation of one of my limbs.

Not bombs nor my broken heart can take away from me walking barefoot with you in jasmine June through the Field of Mars.
